Ok, so I've been noticing these days that the e30 crowd is begining to vanish. Brent thinking of selling his car has kind of put the cherry on top. Think about how many E30's have been put to sleep, sold, or killed, or are in limbo over the last 8-10 months. What's going on?

nonlocal's 318is - Put nose first into a pole in a parking lot by his "friend".

Davericher20's touring - barely sees the light of day... he can tell you why.

sLvr325i - just sold 2 of his e30's he was going to fix up.

DYMO's euro rhd - I still haven't seen this car on the road.

Craz anz - selling or keeping? he can probaby tell you a little story too.

Myself - coupe has a fried clutch only a year after installing a new one. Shelved for now.

Mystical - Too busy to give his e30 any love... it sits and waits.

Red Rocket - Would rather drive his Camry that fix his headgasket.

Brent - Wants to sell because he can no longer pick up at the LCBO.

HavocSteve - I don't even know what happened to his car, but it's gone.

Boxer2, Ceeker, Dissembler, Bullet Ride, talltorontoguy, Everlast, InfiniteDice, Axxe, matty.dc, a few others, and Myself still seem to be able to hold the torch, but heaven knows we've probably stripped more e30's that any of us care to talk about. It seems we've taken a pretty big hit compared with years past.

^^Ditto, my car is not officially on the market, but if someone ponies up the right price, I will let it go as I have my sights on an e36. An e36 is easier to go faster than an e30 and cheaper to make really fast around a race track which is where my focus is for now. If i don't get the right price then I stick with the e30 for now. If I had my choice, I would keep the e30 and get an e36, but I can't justify yet another car in the driveway.......

Scott, I think as these cars are getting older and further being used a DD. they are beginning if not already showing their age. Personally, I like cruising in mine more then going fast. once the bug gets under your skin the mods and $$$ spend never ends. And one never gets the complete satisfaction. Faster, better etc. I mean this is personal of course so not judging here. e30's are becoming if not already collectible's. To restore one is now big coin as I am finding out. But I just like them; they are different, classy and regardless of the newer cars they still have distinction compared to newer. Personally I will own them because I can fix them and take enjoyment in doing this.

I'm with you on the holding on part. Unless someone pays me a price that I simply can't refuse. However, I will most probably always own at least one at some point. I never thought I'd be owning 3.

I'm just thinking about selling it...it's kind of like swinging...lotsa fun to think about, but I'm not sure I could ever actually do it...

I still have nothing but love for my E30, but there is a part of me that can't stop thinking about a porsche...and I've seen one in need of my crappy body skills at a good price...anyone dare me to paint a porsche with Tremclad and a roller?

Ok, and one more thing...with respect to that LCBO comment...I've driven the E30 one day so far this year...(I needed to do a little work to get her on the road)...and that day, well maybe it just put a glint in my eye, but let's just say I'm 1 for 1. I just can't help but think, with a porsche, I'd make Charlie Sheen look like a saint.

yeah! you might actually get two girls coming out of the LCBO at once who "might" get in your car..
